'''Aquatic Mine''' is the 8th stage in the Hero story on [[Sonic Adventure 2]]. Knuckles is used to play this stage.
===Speed Tips===
'''Mission 1'''
This is a treasure-hunting stage. The general [[SA2 Hunting Tips|hunting tips]] apply. The best locations are:
Piece 3: "Three fans" Of course, there are 3 fans to the left in the starting hall. Piece 3 can actually be in front of any one of them, among its other locations, and the middle fan can also house piece 1. But if you want the best time, you'll want the closest fan. Wait for the piece to appear there, then glide left. Because the ground there is an upslope, it's actually possible to jump high enough to reach the piece with a simple jump, but you can also do a quick Spiral Upper and gain height faster. Both ways are roughly equivalent.
Piece 2: "Switch No. 1.5?" Just behind the start, of course, are switches #1 and #2. So naturally, switch #1.5 would be between them. Head back there, and dig into the ground between the two switches for a possible piece.
Piece 1: "Skull pulley" Not much "pulley" about this one. It's on the water wheel just to the left of start. The radar will start out yellow for this piece.

'''Mission 2'''
Get the 8 rings in the circle around you (start with the one in front and work around in either direction for the best line). Use the upslope to jump high enough that you can glide forward to the pulley without having to climb the wall at all.
When you grab the pulley, you'll also get ring #9. Ride it up to the top room, and do two things there: get the 10 box, and hit switch #3. Once you're done with both, dive back down and head for the near right corner relative to the starting point. Put on the sunglasses there (you can use [[SA2 terminology|rapid pause]] to speed up this process) and you'll see 10 rings appear in a line in front of you. Get all of these, and as soon as you see the ring counter hit 29, head for the back corner.
On the second floor in that corner, you'll see the opening of a shaft. Dive down through it, without hitting the spring at the bottom, and enter the opening. From here it's a natural path that would lead to the Air Necklace, but there are also 71 rings along the way that will give you a total of 100 and the completion.
